<H2><A NAME="sect8" HREF="#toc8"><B>DESCRIPTION</B></A></H2>
The <B>Splash</B> command creates a new window
(given by the <I>pathName</I> argument) and makes it into
a splash screen window.
Additional options, described above, may be specified on the
command line or in the option database to configure aspects
of the splash screen widget.
The <B>Splash</B> command returns its <I>pathName</I> argument.
At the time this command is invoked, there must not exist a
window named <I>pathName</I>, but pathName's parent must exist.
